Models Wanted for Photo Shoots (a.k.a. Photo Testing or TFCD)
“It is unlikely that you will encounter another photographer with both the mind-boggling grasp of digital technology AND the boundless creativity and enthusiasm that Michael brings to a project. We first worked together on a guerilla shoot in an unpredictable location; as the subject, I felt entirely at ease, and the results were stellar. I will never work with anyone else… Hire him before he’s too famous to afford!”

Models Wanted for test Photo Shoots (a.k.a. “Time for CD” or “Trade for CD” or “Test for CD”)
I’m currently looking for quality models to do some photo shoots to build up our mutual portfolios.
I enjoy photographing in a variety of styles: Fashion, Beauty, Portraiture, Editorial, Fitness/Lifestyle — for me it’s all about creating compelling images by choosing the right models, the right lighting, the right clothes, makeup, poses, ad infinitum! (Photography is a holistic alchemy…)
If we decide to work together, what we shoot also depends on what you’re looking for (since this is a collaborative effort). If you are an Agency Signed model, I will provide a stylist as well as hair & makeup personnel.
If not, I will most likely want to draw from your wardrobe since photo testing is a business cost to me (so I prefer not to hire a stylist unless required).
Before contacting me, please read these two very brief articles unless you’re intimately familiar with the Photo Testing process and “TFCD”.
(I have no affiliation with these external websites, I merely found them to be clear explanations.)
Please send me a link to your online portfolio using the form below. If you don’t have a portfolio, regular pictures are fine.
NOTE: If you choose to contact me on facebook, please put “TFCD” in the Subject of your email (otherwise it may be unread due to the volume of email I receive).
All the best,
Michael Getzinger, Photographer
